Name two other acids other than sulphuric acid, which can be prepared by using sulphuric acid.

In using sulphuric acid to prepare other acids, as mentioned above, which property of sulphuric acid is used ?

A, B, C and D summarise the properties of sulphuric acid depending on whether it is dilute or concentrated.
A = Typical acid property
B = Non-Volatile acid
C = Oxidising agent
D = Dehydrating agent

Choose the property (A, B, C or D) depending on which is relevant to each of the following :
(i) Preparation of hydrogen chloride gas
(ii) Preparation of copper sulphate from copper oxide
(iii) Action of cone, sulphuric acid on sulphur

Some properties of sulphuric acid are listed below. Choose the property A, B, C or D which is responsible for the reaction (a) to (e). Some properties may be repeated.
A. Acid
B. Dehydrating agent
C. Non-volatile acid
D. Oxidizing agent

(a) \[\ce{C12H22O11 + nH2SO4 -> 12C + 11H2O + nH2SO4}\]
(b) \[\ce{S + 2H2SO4 -> 3SO2 + 2H2O}\]
(c) \[\ce{NaCl + 2H2SO4 -> NaHSO4 + HCl}\]
(d) \[\ce{CuO + 2H2SO4 -> CuSO4 + H2O}\] 
(e) \[\ce{Na2CO3 + H2SO4 -> Na2SO4 + H2O + CO2}\]
